Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

One of the best, up there with "If" and such a tragedy for humanity that the author was " killed in action"11

Lovely poem. Thanks Rajnish Manga for leading me to the 'trees" . You here that poets...poets are fools. If a poet be a fool then let the muse play on. Great poem.

Great commentary on the material progress made by man which has cost him so dearly. This is probably the most popular poem of Joyce Kilmer. I would like to translate it into Hindi.

Nothing more could have been expressed in in applauding mother nature the tree...so benevolent, figure of a monk.......here tree is the epitome. " A tree that looks at God all day/And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A great poem.

My mother use to quote this poem about a tree just to aggravate me when I was little. It would make me mad and she would laugh about it. She only went to 8th grade back in 40's. i guess she had to memorize it for an assignment for school. She got married at 15 and had me at age of 16. She grew up with 5 kids before age 21. Now I see the poem as a lovely poem.

Preplanning for the inevitable, I just installed my gravestone on my cemetery pot.. Because of this poem, I placed my name face up toward the sky. When I tell critics that I would rather face God all day than the street, they are taken back.
